Back in July (2020), I posted a photo of Guilford Rail System 252 under the title ‘Unexpected Surprise’. See: http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/2020\/07\/23\/unexpected-surprise\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The significance of the locomotive is that Maine Central 252 (pictured) is now owned by Conway Scenic, where I now work as the Manager of Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s TTL photograph portrays the same train, Guilford’s EDLA (East Deerfield to Lawrence, Massachusetts) a little later on the same May 1997 evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After photographing it near Farleys, Mike Gardner and I had continued east on Route 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here on the Wendell-Erving town line, I had aimed to recreate a photo that I’d made with photographer Brandon Delaney a dozen years earlier, when I caught an eastward train from the same spot. In that earlier photo a derelict barn was standing to the left of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this view all the remained of the barn was the foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I offer two variation of the same photo. The top is a straight scan without post processing adjustment to contrast, color etc. The second features my processing to improve the appearance of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
